  • Preferred diseases or conditions to be treated with the present combinations include osteoporosis and female sexual dysfunction.
  • Female sexual dysfunction includes: decreased libido, hypoactive sexual desire disorder, sexual arousal disorder, dyspareunia, sexual ahedonia and vaginismus.
  • the present combination is also preferred in the treatment or prevention of vaginal atrophy or skin atrophy including skin wrinkles and spots, and in increasing the frequency or intensity of orgasms.
  • Hypoactive sexual desire disorder is a disorder in which sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity are persistently or recurrently diminished or absent, causing marked distress or interpersonal difficulties.
  • Hypoactive sexual desire disorder may be lifelong or acquired, generalized (global) or situational (partner-specific).
  • Sexual desire is a complex psychosomatic process based on brain activity (the "generator” or “motor” running in a rheostatic cyclic fashion), a poorly defined hormonal milieu, and cognitive scripting that includes sexual aspiration and motivation. Desynchronization of these components results in hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
  • hypoactive sexual desire disorder is commonly caused by boredom or unhappiness in a long-standing relationship, depression (which leads more often to decreased interest in sex than it does to impotence in the male or to inhibited excitement in the female), dependence on alcohol or psychoactive drugs, side effects from prescription drugs (e.g., antihypertensives, antidepressa ⁇ ts), and hormonal deficiencies.
  • This disorder can be secondary to impaired sexual functioning in the arousal or orgasm phase of the sexual response cycle. Symptoms and signs of hypoactive sexual desire disorder include the patient complaining of a lack of interest in sex, even in ordinarily erotic situations. The disorder is usually associated with infrequent sexual activity, often causing serious marital conflict.
  • Sexual anhedonia (decreased or absent pleasure in sexual activity) is not an official diagnosis. It is almost always classified under hypoactive sexual desire disorder, because loss of pleasure almost always results in loss of desire (although loss of desire may occur first). The cause is likely to be depression or drugs if anhedonia is acquired and global (with all partners in all situations); interpersonal factors if anhedonia is confined to one partner or one situation; or repressive factors (e.g., guilt, shame) due to family dysfunction or childhood trauma if anhedonia is lifelong. Sexual aversion is the probable diagnosis in lifelong cases.
  • Sexual arousal disorder is the persistent or recurrent inability to attain or to maintain the lubrication-swelling response of sexual excitement until completion of sexual activity. This disturbance occurs despite adequate focus, intensity, and duration of sexual stimulation.
  • the disorder may be lifelong or, more commonly, acquired and restricted to the partner.
  • the patient's complaints are usually related to lack of orgasm, although some women report lack of excitement.
  • Sexual pain disorders (includes dyspareunia and vaginismus) is characterized by pain resulting from penetration and may be caused by medications which reduce lubrication, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, inflammatory bowel disease or urinary tract problems.
  • Dyspareunia is painful coitus or attempted coitus. Dyspareunia is usually introital but may also occur before, during, or after intercourse. Causes include menopausal involution with dryness and thinning of the mucosa. Pain during or after coitus is the chief complaint.
  • patient means a mammal having one or more of the conditions or diseases or at risk of having one or more of the conditions or diseases disclosed herein. Preferred patients are humans. An especially preferred patient is a postmenopausal woman.
  • treat means to ameliorate or prevent the onset of or more symptom of a disease or condition.
  • a combination of an estrogen agonist / antagonist may comprise one or more estrogen agonist /antagonist and one or more estrogen.
  • a combination may contain one estrogen agonist /antagonist and two estrogens.
  • the combination may contain more than one estrogen agonist / antagonist and one estrogen.
  • the combinations of the present invention can be administered to a patient all at once, such as in the same tablet, or in multiple tablets taken at the same time.
  • the estrogen agonist /antagonist can be taken at one time and the estrogen taken at another time.
  • the combinations of the present invention can be administered to a patient. It is contemplated that the present invention encompass the various ways of administering the estrogen agonists / antagonists and estrogens.
  • kits for the treatment or prevention of the above-mentioned conditions or diseases that comprise an estrogen agonist / antagonist, an estrogen and a progestin.
  • the combination can be administered in the same dosage form at the same time, in different dosage forms at the same time, or in different dosage forms at different times. All variations of administration methods and administration times are contemplated.
  • the estrogen agonist / antagonist, estrogen and progestin can be administered in separate tablets or capsules.
  • the estrogen agonist / antagonist and estrogen can be administered in one tablet and the progestin in a second tablet.
  • some components can be administered by tablet or capsule and others delivered transdermally, such as by a patch.
  • Nasal administration is also contemplated for the combinations of the present invention. It is also noted that more than one estrogen agonist / antagonist, estrogen or progestin can be used in the combinations.
  • estrogen agonist / antagonist is a compound that affects some of the same receptors that estrogen does, but not all, and in some instances, it antagonizes or blocks estrogen. It is also known as a "selective estrogen receptor modulator” (SERM). Estrogen agonists / antagonists may also be referred to as antiestrogens although they have some estrogenic activity at some estrogen receptors.
  • Estrogen agonists / antagonists are therefore not what are commonly referred to as "pure antiestrogens".
  • Antiestrogens that can also act as agonists are referred to as Type I antiestrogens.
  • Type I antiestrogens activate the estrogen receptor to bind tightly in the nucleus for a prolonged time but with impaired receptor replenishment (Clark, et al., Steroids 1973;22:707, Capony et al., Mol Cell Endocrinol. 1975;3:233).
